About Me

I'm Alex, a long time educator in the percussive arts. After earning my degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston, I spent subsequent years in Nashville working as both a percussion educator (high school & private instruction) and audio engineer.

I sincerely hope this information is helpful and I look forward to your feedback on ways I can improve this site.

Enjoy!
-Alex
